Revance Therapeutics (RVNC) Offers FY17 Outlook

Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: RVNC), a biotechnology company developing botulinum toxin products for use in aesthetic and therapeutic indications, today defined key 2017 clinical milestones for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (RT002) and provided its financial outlook for 2017. The company also announced its unaudited December 31, 2016 cash and investments balance was $185 million and now expects its cash and investments to fund the company into the third quarter of 2018.

“As we enter 2017, we remain focused on leveraging our neurotoxin platform and rapidly advancing our RT002 programs with three active clinical trials that will yield key results before year end,” said Dan Browne, President and Chief Executive Officer of Revance. “We are applying our proprietary peptide technology to a highly purified botulinum toxin to help patients suffering from serious muscle movement disorders such as cervical dystonia, and painful musculoskeletal conditions such as plantar fasciitis. And, our RT002 aesthetics program in glabellar (frown) lines, which is furthest along in development, is on track to report results from both Phase 3 pivotal trials in the fourth quarter of this year. Our strategy is to position long-lasting, sustained duration of effect -- demonstrated in both cosmetic and muscle movement clinical studies -- as the key differentiation of RT002 when compared to the first-generation neurotoxin products available today.”

RT002 INJECTABLE 2017 CLINICAL MILESTONES

Phase 3 Program for Treatment of Glabellar (Frown) Lines – Report Pivotal Results 4Q 2017

Glabellar lines are the vertical lines that develop between the eyebrows as a result of repeated frowning, scowling, or merely focusing while listening or reading. As a person ages, the skin becomes less elastic and glabellar lines become more pronounced. In the fourth quarter of 2016, Revance initiated its Phase 3 program of RT002 injectable for the treatment of glabellar lines, comprised of two Phase 3 pivotal trials evaluating the efficacy, safety and duration of RT002, and a long-term safety trial. Revance plans to report results from both pivotal trials in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Phase 2 Trial for Treatment of Cervical Dystonia – Share Topline Results 1H 2017

Patients with cervical dystonia suffer from painful, embarrassing twisting movements of the neck, often impairing their ability to work, drive and perform activities of daily living. In December 2016, Revance reported positive interim results from its Phase 2 dose-escalating clinical trial of RT002 injectable for the treatment of cervical dystonia. The company expects to complete this trial and share topline results for all three dose cohorts, followed for at least 6 months, in the first half of 2017.

Phase 2 Trial for Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis – Report Phase 2 Results 2H 2017

The plantar fascia is the foot’s shock absorber. Repeated pressure on this tissue, whether from sport activities, aging, or obesity, can result in plantar fasciitis, characterized by inflammation accompanied by sharp, constant pain in the heel that can become highly debilitating. Revance initiated a Phase 2 clinical trial of RT002 injectable for the treatment of plantar fasciitis in the fourth quarter of 2016 and continues to enroll patients. Topline results are expected in the second half of 2017.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR 2017

Revance expects cash burn for 2017 to be in the range of $102 to $112 million. Revance expects 2017 GAAP operating expense to be in the range of $108 to $119 million, which when excluding depreciation of $1 to $2 million and estimated stock-based compensation of $13 to $15 million, results in projected 2017 non-GAAP operating expense of $94 to $102 million. With three clinical programs underway, Revance anticipates 2017 GAAP research and development expense to be in the range of $75 to $83 million, which when excluding depreciation of $1 to $2 million and estimated stock-based compensation of $5 to $6 million, results in projected 2017 non-GAAP research and development expense of $69 to $75 million.
